Looking Back at My Years at College (Part 1)

It is popularly believed a popular believe that being a student is one of the best time period in humans life. People often claim that it is the a period of noble ideas, sweet dreams and pure joy, because the student’s mind is free from all anxieties, cares, problems and pressure of the tough world. Looking back, I can positively say that my student life period was over with my graduation from Saratov State University (SSU). At that time, I was fed up with my journalism studies and I wanted to try something new.

The reason I chose the HSE Master’s program “Foreign Languages and Cross-cultural Communication” was my desire to improve my English and to learn the second foreign language for free. Therefore, I expected to get a rigorous language training so as to widen my job opportunities. Apart from this, I supposed to get enrolled in a translation course, because I was not interested in methods of teaching.

While analyzing my the years at the HSE, it is impossible not to compare them with SSU. First, the whole educational system of both universities is were different. At SSU, we had boring lectures where students are required to keep silent during an the entire one hour and a half, and to write down each professor’s word. Afterwards we had seminars where we presented everything that we learned. At the HSE, we hardly ever have had traditional lectures because all classes are interactive and full of discussions and activities. In addition, in Saratov, there are were no native English speaking teachers, whereas at the HSE, not only did American professors teach us, but also every week we are invited to attend workshops, masterclasses, festivals, conferences and all other kinds of events where we can could meet striking scholars from all over the world. Furthermore, the HSE student communities give gave a tremendous variety of opportunities to realize your talents.

Unfortunately, there is no rose without a thorn, and Master’s program in combination with full-time job killed any fun of being a HSE student in Moscow due to the fact that not only do not you didn't have enough time on extracurricular activities, but any new homework, no matter how inspiring and useful it is was,  considered torture (and this essay is not an exception).

Nice memories. Thanks for sharing.

Is this correct?

Most people think that creating cycle lanes is necessary for our modern society, but there are people who have another point of view.
First of all, cycle lanes would decrease air pollutions, because bicycles don't need gasoline to work and but cars do. Secondly, if car drivers used a bicycles instead of a car sometimes, traffic congestions wouldn't be such a problem.
On the other hand, using bicycle lanes is harmful for our health and it can provoke different diseases as like asthma, because the air near the surface is more dirty. Moreover, riding near the road is quite dangerous, because not all car drivers obey the rules, and it can cause traumas.
All in all, I think that the bicycle lanes would be useful and the government should think about it.

Hi buddy I don't want to ruin your statement but something better came to my mind The book tells the story of a man from his birth to his death. The book tells the story of a man ( you want to describe his whole life) from his childhood to his death. I think it's not common to use since for your description ( by your respect)
